When sampling a nuclei, following parameters shoud be considered:
• Sensitivity• Natural abundance• Relaxation time : T1 recycle time, T2 acquisition Time• Influence of H-decoupler: {NOE and J}

Sensitivity and Receptivity
The sensitivity of a nuclei depends on:
1. Magnetic Field ( g)2. Population excess ( g)3. Magnetic field induced in receiver coil ( g)
Sensitivity = k * gx3 * Ix(Ix +1)
e.g. g(13C)/g(1H) = 1/4 13C less sensitive than proton (64 less)
Receptivity Rx = ax * Sensitivity
Where ax = natural abundance
e.g. Relative receptivity of 1H and 13C
R =CH aC * gC

aH * gH3 = 0.01 * (25)3

Magnitude of T1 is highly dependant on : 1. the type of nuclei2. State of the sample
T1 governs the efficiency of the NMR experiment : recycle time
For 1H in solution T1 can be 0.01 to 100 sec.For low g nuclei – spin ½ - relaxation can be much longer!

SW and Memory sizeO1
SW
The spectral window (SW) and the carrier offset (O1) are chosen to match entire spectra (to avoid Fold-over and aliasing)
For a given SW, the time (Dwell time) between 2 data point is defined by the Nyquist theorem (1/2SW).
The total number of data point (TD) acquired is related to the Acquisition time AQ (DW*TD)
The digital resolution depends on the window and on the number of points placed in that window
Digital resolution = 2 * SW/ TD = 1/AQ
TD = 2 * SW * AQ
Sharp lines have long FID (long T2*),
broad peaks have short FID (short T2*),
AQ ~ 3 * T2
Nyquist Theorem
DIGITALLIZATION
• Accuracy• Speed
Digitallization: Convert FID (Volt/Time) in Digital formDigitallization process is limited by:
Carrier Offset or Transmitter Offset or “O1” is the frequency of the irradiating field. It is also the “Reference” or “Rotating Frame” frequency
The “Window” or “Spectral Width” also called “SW” define the range of frequencies that can be measured
r.f.
O1SW
The Sampling Rate => 2 Points/Cycle Dwell Time = DW= _1__2*SW
If Maximum Frequency to be sampled is fmax = SW
We must sample at a rate no less than 2 * SWsec.
Digital Resolution
The amount of memory limit the accuracy of the signal to be recorded
For a given # of memory (# Points -> TD (time domain)), one obtain:
NP (real) and NP (Imaginary) 2 2
Digital Resolution = D.R. = Df (Separation between 2 points)
D.R. = 2 * SW NP
Digitallization : resolution and Acquisition time
Example
At 200 MHz If: SW=2000 Hz (10 ppm)
TD = 16,000 points (16K)
What is the Digital Resolution:
D.R. = 2*SW/TD = 4000 / 16,000 = 1 / 4 = 0.25 Hz
What is the Acquisition Time AQ:
AQ = TD * DW = TD / (2 * SW) = 4 seconds
D.R. = 1 / AQ = 2 * SW / TD

Heteronuclear nOe
• Can yield higher positive signal for nuclei with positive g (e.g. 13C)
• For nuclei with negative g (e.g. 29Si, 15N) can yield larger (negative) signals or for partial T1DD can null the signal!!!
